I think the cab changed slightly however most of the frame stayed unchanged. When I put my IFS on my truck, Justin from Scott's Hot Rods told me that the frames are identical from the radiator back. I think he was right because I used a new rear leaf kit for a 47 from LMC and it bolted right up to the factory holes. I think the new style cabs are wider though.

That is what he thought about being the same as the 48, the 46/7 had a different frame from the center cross member to the rear as he had to re do the welds on the rear end brackets for the 4 bar and make a new center cross member for the transmission
